Olhão, in the Algarve's Faro district, is the largest fishing port in the Algarve and is known for its sardines. The local shoreline, 37 miles of it, is part of the Parque Natural de Ria Formosa, a preserve with protected dunes, marshes, ponds and forests.

Along the waterfront is a long promenade with many gardens. It is a great place to walk and enjoy the water, look at the boats, and escape the heat. Whatever you do, don’t miss the bustling markets near the port; the Olhão fish market and the fresh vegetable- and produce market are great places to get to know the locals! Shop and dine in or visit the nearest restaurants and bars, just 500m from the apartment.

For those keen to explore further afield, a great tip is hopping on one of the frequent ferries nearby, which will take you to Ferries to islands such as Ilha da Culatra, Ilha do Farol, and the closest to Olhão, Ilha da Armona. The island features clear blue water, a plethora of water sports and delightful beaches.

• Air: Faro Airport is 15 km away
• Train: Olhão station is at 600m
• Road: The A22 highway is 12km from the apartment

Absolutely brilliant! Apartment is located in fantastic touristic area, full of restaurants, bars and shops. Very close to the seaside promenade which bring you on several beaches. Very close to the bus stops (if you would like to travel aroud the island). Apartment is modern, very comfortable, clean, and with amazing views! Absolutely recommend this place!

The place is really nice. Ilu cooks very good Balinese meals and she is really friendly. It's important to eclair from the beginning all the prices with the manager, including meals for not being surprised.

Very nice place. Beautiful house and wonderful surroundings. The landlord was a nice lady trying to make things easier for us during our stay. She even made a cake for us, which was delicious. Thanks to her for our nice stay.

We stayed here last week, the village is very quiet (no bakery etc.) . There are no shops, but in 15 minuted drive there are some big supermarkets.
The house is surrounded by a large garden and the surroundings are beautiful.
There is a large kitchen, where you'll find everything you need.
The living room has a fire place and 3 benches, there is no t.v. or internet, but that wasn't a problem for us.
It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms for adults en 1 for children. The master bedroom is very nice with a bathroom an suite. We were with 6 adults, the 2 beds in the children bedroom are 2 single beds, one of them is only suitable for persons no longer then 170 cm. The second bedroom is also very nice, and it has a bathroom around the corner. The only problem was that if you're sleeping in the children's bedroom, you have to walk true the other bedroom to reach the bathroom.

The house has a cozy interior and it has central heating.
We couldn't find the tennis court at first, but you have to walk around the other house in the back to find it.
The only thing that could improve the stay even more would be a table and chairs to sit in the garden.

It is a 20 minute drive from the D-day landing beaches and villages, museum and the impressive American Millitary Cemetery. It's also nice to visit Bayeux or Caen, and there are farms that sell Calvados.
We had a great time here.
